Taxonomic remark From https://www.theropoddatabase.com/Ornithuromorpha.htm: The specimen IVPP V12444 was fraudulently combined with the tail of the Microraptor zhaoianus holotype by a Chinese farmer ... The specimen was returned to the IVPP in May, 2000 and Zhou and Zhang were asked to work on the ornithuromorph section. They noticed the similarity with Yanornis shortly before completing their paper on that taxon in December 2000. Rowe et al. (2001) detailed the composite nature of the specimen, recognizing it was from at least two, and possibly up to five animals. They noted the ornithuromorph section (IVPP V 12444) was to be described by Xu (in prep.), which later appeared as Czerkas and Xu (2002). These authors described the specimen as a new taxon of ornithurine bird- Archaeovolans repatriates. Czerkas and Xu noted in an addendum that the recently described Yanornis martini was extremely similar and might be congeneric, though they also thought differences were present. Zhou et al. published their work in 2002, noting that both anatomy and proportions were nearly identical in the holotypes for the two species and synonymized them. [details]
